You want Trump out? How do we get you out? We defeated you at the ballot box but you won't leave. What then can we do to be rid of you? In 2016 Americans rose up to pull down the establishment in a peaceful storming of the American Bastille. But the defeated Establishment says Trump is unacceptable and must be stopped-Pat Buchanan, August 11, 2016

This longest of election cycles has rightly been called the Year of
the Outsider. It was a year that saw a mighty surge of economic populism
and patriotism, a year when a 74-year-old Socialist senator set
primaries ablaze with mammoth crowds that dwarfed those of Hillary
Clinton.It was the year that a non-politician, Donald Trump, swept Republican
primaries in an historic turnout....

would that not suggest there is something
fraudulent about American democracy, something rotten in the state?If 2016 taught us anything, it is that if the establishment’s
hegemony is imperiled,it will come together in ferocious solidarity —
for the preservation of their perks, privileges and power. All the elements of that establishment — corporate, cultural,
political, media — are today issuing an ultimatum to Middle America:

Instructions are going out to Republican leaders that either they
dump Trump, or they will cease to be seen as morally fit partners in
power.

"Republican
leaders have for years failed to think about much of anything beyond
winning the next election. Year after year, the party’s candidates
promised help for middle-class people who lost their homes, jobs and
savings to recession, who lost limbs and well-being to war,and then did next to nothing.That Mr. Trump was able to enthrall voters by
promising simply to “Make America Great Again” — but offering only
xenophobic, isolationist or fantastical ideas —is testimony to how thoroughly they reject the politicians who betrayed them."...
